Billowing Cushion by Rompa®
“Rompa®’s billowing cushion has been a great addition to our Sensory Integration clinic. We have found that the billowing cushion offers a good postural challenge for a wide range of children. Many children have enjoyed crawling and rolling over the cushion as part of an obstacle course. The cushion is great for whole body rolling across and can be used for assessing if a child is using a segmental rolling reflex. Although for some maintaining balance has been quite difficult, causing them to roll off of the cushion quite easily, whilst others prefer lying in the middle, the air wraps around them providing deep pressure and a rocking motion, which is calming.
We have found that the children’s favourite way to use the cushion has been to use it as a catapult for toys; placing a toy on one side and jumping or crashing onto the other side to make the toy go flying. Children have enjoyed crashing onto the cushion and gaining proprioceptive input; although the foam base is not as soft as we had hoped, which can be a bit of shock at first. This game has also been great in our sensory attachment sessions, working on anticipation, cause and effect, eye contact and vagal brake.”

Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.
The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein
You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:
- The toppings you may chose for that TV dinner pizza slice when you forgot to shop for foods, the paint you may slap on your face to impress the new boss is your business.
- But what about your daily bread? Design comps, layouts, wireframes—will your clients accept that you go about things the facile way?
- Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever.
- Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
- Websites in professional use templating systems.
- Commercial publishing platforms and content management systems ensure that you can show different text, different data using the same template.
- When it's about controlling hundreds of articles, product pages for web shops, or user profiles in social networks, all of them potentially with different sizes, formats, rules for differing elements things can break, designs agreed upon can have unintended consequences and look much different than expected.
This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
